As long as I'm working on federation bridges to platforms where everybody hates me and the work I'm doing, the question is what should come after Diaspora and GNU-social? I'm thinking DFRN (Friendica) should be next because there is so much more hate for me than for instance Pump.io. I could probably build a killer federation bridge to DFRN because it's got a (primitive) implementation of magic-auth.

Maybe even the announcement of that could create so much hate that it'll converge into a singularity and the whole network implodes before you can finish your brilliant work (which by the way I'm very thankful for).Happy Easter!

It's somehow weird that people on #Friendica hate you considering the origins of Friendica and Hubzilla. Are you given any reason for the hate or is it just good old plain hate without any rational foundation?

I'm blamed for the community fork which left both projects with a lack of sufficient dev resources to thrive for several years; and also for giving up on "social network federation" in 2012, when the federated web imploded around us - and turning my attention to other aspects of decentralisation technology; which I still believe are more important than the social network and federation bits.

That's my cross to bear. The raw emotions have softened over time so the attacks aren't nearly as scathing as they once were, but I still encounter them quite often.

Working on a utility to migrate #friendica photo albums to #redmatrix. Oh and I've started to port the #diaspora federation module from #friendica to #redmatrix, even though I'm guessing 90% of our content will have to be stripped since it just doesn't translate to legacy social networks.

@tuscanhobbit It doesn't necessarily need a completely different architecture, just improvements to the one that's already there. With that being said, we are working to decouple the federation calls and protocol from Diaspora itself, so once it's in a gem, there will be a wider arc of opportunity for trying new protocols on.
